278340 - "no proxy for" documentation

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Developer Documentation Graveyard :: Mozilla Platform, defect)

Description

[benc]

Firefox rollout has increased comments in some bugs that were previously
"well-known" in the mozilla community.

One of the areas that I could address reasonably quickly was the usage of "no
proxy for".

I'm still doing PAC, but this was easy to isolate and I wanted to wrap up all
the issues in one document and put it out of my mind.

Attachment: first draft

Here it is. I wrote it as a single "everything" document, and I'll probably put
it inside the /quality/networking/doc/ directory if nobody can think of a
better place. I think a more end-user document might be in order, but that is a
lower priority for me than trying to wrap up documenting PAC.

There might be some minor errors in the testcases (after a long day of being
paid to do testing, I just did a brain dump of the more obvious cases...)

Does anyone know if this is still relevant and if so where we ought to put it on MDC?

Comment 3

[Eric Shepherd [:sheppy]]

Or indeed, does it belong on MDC rather than the QA wiki?

Comment 4

[benc]

Eric: I pushed the document into my old QA sub-tree a long time ago.

Obviously this location is ancient, so I'd like to work out a way to move the content to the right place, and then mothball the old stuff.

Automatically closing all bugs that have not been updated in a while. Please reopen if this is still important to you and has not yet been corrected.

Comment 6

[John Karahalis [:openjck]]

Reopening for review by Sheppy.

I don't suppose you still have this updated documentation so I can pull it? Or was it live on mozilla.org and I just need to pull it from mothballs there?
